Who is the dominant athlete in sports?

The answer is Roger Federer.  This man wins everything well except the French Open.  Other than that he has dominated his sport like no other.  Not Michael Jordan not Tiger Woods can say they have done it the way Roger has in tennis.  Now alot of you will say that since he doesn’t have a French Open title than he is not dominating his sport.  That is not true.  He has been in the finals of that event the last two years so it is not like he doesn’t show up at Roland Garros. He has been number one for almost 100 straight weeks and noone in tennis can ever say that.  Even Tiger Woods finished a season out of the top spot.  He has won Wimbledon five straight times, just completed his fourth straight U.S. Open, has won the Australian Open three times in the last four years. He has twice been the only male player to have reached the finals of all four grand slams in the same year( ‘06,’07).  He is only 26 years old and stands two grand slam victories behind Pete Sampras’ record of 14.  Needless to say barring any unforseen tradgedies in his life he will break that record and set it at such a number noone will ever break it.
